💅 libnvme — enum nvme_rate_limiting_rlc

okay so bestie, welcome to the libnvme(9) API manual ✨ this little page is all about one enum and honestly? she's small but she's mighty. it's the Rate Limiting Data Buffer — Rate Limits Control, aka RLC 🎀 (yes the acronym is doing a lot, we love her anyway)

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum nvme_rate_limiting_rlc — Rate Limiting Data Buffer - Rate Limits Control (RLC)

like, the whole vibe is: this is the enum that gives you the shift amounts and masks to poke at rate limiting fields. no cap 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum nvme_rate_limiting_rlc {
    NVME_RATE_LIMITING_RLC_RLM_SHIFT ,
    NVME_RATE_LIMITING_RLC_RLM_MASK ,
    NVME_RATE_LIMITING_RLC_RLE_SHIFT ,
    NVME_RATE_LIMITING_RLC_RLE_MASK

};

that's it. that's the whole enum. four members, zero drama 🦋

👑 Constants 👑

okay these are the actual constants, bestie, and each one is a little helper for getting or setting a specific field. let's go one by one, main character energy only 🔥

• NVME_RATE_LIMITING_RLC_RLM_SHIFT — the shift amount you use to get/set the Rate Limiting Mode (RLM). and like, if you wanna know what the actual modes are, see enum nvme_rate_limiting_mode — that's where the RLM lore lives, iykyk 📖✨
• NVME_RATE_LIMITING_RLC_RLM_MASK — the mask for getting/setting RLM. same field as above, this is just the mask half of the duo 🫶
• NVME_RATE_LIMITING_RLC_RLE_SHIFT — the shift amount you use to get/set the Rate Limiting Enable (RLE). yes queen, enable/disable energy ⭐
• NVME_RATE_LIMITING_RLC_RLE_MASK — the mask for getting/setting RLE. mask bestie to the shift bestie, they come as a set 💖

ngl the pattern here is iconic in its simplicity: _SHIFT tells you how far to scoot, _MASK tells you what to keep. RLM and RLE each get one of each. that's the whole story 🌈

and that's the page!! four constants, two fields, one very cute enum. go forth and rate-limit responsibly bestie 💜

mwah 💋 this was October 2026 — enum nvme_rate_limiting_rlc — libnvme(9) — see you in the next manpage, ily, bye 🎀✨
